The offense started to "come together" at about the time we started playing the shittiest defenses in the SEC.

The young secondary did get torched pretty badly in some of those games, but outside of Ole Miss they didn't really give up a lot of points. That's just going to happen sometimes when you play pass heavy spread teams, especially when you're a team with an inexperienced secondary that is built to stop power running teams.

It's going to be harder to have a lights out defense as we start to see more variation in play style amongst SEC teams. It'll be too hard to adjust from one week to the next. Which is why the offense better pick it up, and quickly.

Yea you are right. Miles has coached them up and has had a stellar offensive plan. It is the damn players fault we have the 86th best offense in the country.

Boy we are lucky we have Les without his coaching we might have slipped to 100 or worse.

We need to recruit a quarterback that fits our offense instead of bringing in the big name guys. Alabama brings in qbs that fat their offense and they grow them up in the system. Ben Roethlisberger won his 1st Superbowl bc he managed the game well, made an occasional big play, and had a great defense. We won our champioships w/ qbs that managed our offense. While Mett is a talent, LSU will never conform to an offense that would utilize his talents. We run and play D. Find a guy that can see a cornerback coming, find a guy that can make a play out of nothing b/c of pure instict. We don't need a star, we need a guy that won't lose the game and a guy that makes a big play from time to time.

quote:I wouldnt call bamas defense the worst in the sec.

The offense put up a ton of yards, but only 17 points. Being unable to get the ball into the end zone is a chronic offensive problem and it definitely reared it's head again. We started to score a lot more around around the time we started playing Arkansas, and Moo State, and Ole Miss. Not a coincidence.

Anyway, the defense certainly had problems defending the pass at the end of the year, but that isn't a chronic problem. We haven't had abysmal pass defense for 5 straight years. I expect it to be corrected because our defensive problems generally get corrected quickly. It it's a problem again next year, then I will worry.

But the offense has been average-to-bad for 5 years straight. Yes, even last year was merely average offensive production, it was just coupled with absolutely lights out defense and special teams play. That is a chronic problem that should have been addressed a few times over, and just hasn't been.

I'm willing to overlook a few bad defensive games at the end of the year, but not 5 years of mostly really poor offensive performance.

Couple things could really open up the offense:

1. Bama doesn't need a stinking fullback to run the ball. Why do we? The FB takes up a useful skilled position - rb/wr/te - that could be used to expand the x and o possibilities against defenses.

2. In light of #1 I don't understand why they haven't thought of using an old school 2 RB formation - with split backs instead of the power I. So many run/pass options with a combination of Hill/Ware or Ford/Hill or Hilliard/Hill etc. This could have been done with our backs over the last 5 years. Don't have to give up the FB permanently, but not use one on nearly every friggin down.
